We sometimes find that going up in a telehandler bucket is safer than climbing. We've had close calls with the boss when he is climbing up a tree to de-limb or deadwood and the limb that he is standing on suddenly gives way. Atleast with a telehandler you don't get that trouble. We also hire MEWP's. We hired a spider like one for use on uneven and slippery ground.

Il look forward to the pics mate! So when you leave it as a molinoth do you keep trimming it or let it grow like a pollard

 

Probably leave it to pollard naturally but trim it every 10 years to keep the knuckles n joins relatively fresh

Do you remember the day when it absolutely hammered down? and the council trucks driving up and down the really narrow bit at the bottom.

 

I dont remember it getting done. I live at the other end of park walk. I saw the nottices on the wall.

Ah ok. We have been asked to keep it vegetation clear so the surveying could be done easier. It wasn't much fun being on the top of the MEWP in a bloody monsoon. We were watching it make it way across the blackmore vale. You could hear it as it came through the town lol. We had about 3 inches in 45 mins. I was piss wet through for the rest of the day.
